FAQs
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Initially, I specialized in customized wedding ceremonies for weddings that were often planned way in advance, with big budgets, and many guests. And although these ceremonies still form a great percentage of my work, I came to realize that there were many people looking for something simpler, often on shorter notice, and that these couples deserved the same care and attention and meaningful experience as those from my larger weddings. As a result, I expanded my offerings to include weddings large and small, highly customized to simple and sweet, large numbers of guests to just the couple and their witness. In the process, I discovered that love is love, no matter how simple or lavish the circumstances, and I enjoy the specialness of each ceremony that I officiate, especially enjoying the delight from the couples who just wanted something simple, but discovered in the process how much meaning it had.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Although budgets are always important to every couple, I also know that connecting with an officiant with whom you feel comfortable, and participating in a ceremony that is meaningful to you is truly priceless, for it is an event that has the potential to create the foundation of your lives together. Things to ask your officiant: * What sort of ceremonies are you most comfortable officiating? * Do you customize your ceremony? * What resources do you share with couples? * What sort of training did you receive to officiate wedding ceremonies, and is your authorization to officiate recognized in my area? * How many years have you been officiating, is this your full-time work, what other work do you do, how many ceremonies do you officiate in a year? * Will you officiate at more than one ceremony on a given day, and how much time do you allot to each ceremony? * What do you enjoy most about officiating? Those answers should give you a pretty broad view of the officiant you're considering, and a sense of whether or not they'd be a good match for you.
